Steel Chains - I Know

  Steel Chains are a melodic punk band from Portland, Oregon (is every other person in Portland, Oregon in a band? There seems to be thousands of great bands from there.) Their line up features Jet (vocals), Wolfgang (guitar), Marty (guitar), Samir (bass) and Colin (drums).

  They released a demo in February of last year (so I assume they've not been together much longer than that) and now Dirt Cult Records are putting out their debut s/t 7" single (100 on clear vinyl, 250 on black). You can also get it here : http://steelchains.bandcamp.com/

  Earlier this year they had a track included on a rather cool mixtape which also featured bands of the calibre of Off!, Night Birds, No Problem, G.L.O.S,S. etc, etc, etc, and you can snap that up as a free download here : https://mixtapemarket.bandcamp.com/album/07

  Great sounding female vocals and a punchy backbeat, this is the lead track from the new single, it's called I Know.....

I know, I know. 

I’m sure with some footing we’ll a way 
These are our better days 
Don’t get lost in feeling so down hearted 

I know we all have monsters 
I know we all have monsters 
Seething in the dark alone 
Seething in the dark alone 

I know, I know. 

In life and death we play alone 
Things will die and you will grow 
You can only choose today 
Today 

I know we all have monsters 
I know we all have monsters 
In the dark alone 

I’m sure with some footing we’ll a way 
These are our better days 
Don’t get lost in feeling so down hearted 
In life in death we play alone 
Things will die and you will grow 
You can only choose today 
Today 

You can only choose today, today. 
Today.
